Are all automatic transmissions dual-clutch?
1 Answers
Not all automatic transmissions are dual-clutch, but dual-clutch can be classified as an automatic transmission. Here is relevant information about automatic transmissions and dual-clutch: 1. Origin of dual-clutch: Dual-clutch is a technology developed based on the technical principles of automatic transmissions, but its working principle differs significantly from automatic transmissions. However, it looks the same as an automatic transmission externally, so many people classify it as an automatic transmission. 2. Function of dual-clutch: Dual-clutch vehicles have two sets of clutch systems, with one system controlling the odd-numbered gears and the other controlling the even-numbered gears. The advantage is that while one set is working, the other is already prepared. Therefore, whether downshifting or upshifting, there is no loss of power due to disengaging the clutch, making the driving experience more comfortable.
